Thanks for taking the time to write this guide! I wonder if you can give me any hints on a problem I am having?

I am trying to replicate this on a ReadyNAS NV+ v2 but it's just hanging when loading the kernel:

It just sits at this point and goes no further.
Any ideas what I can try?

[kabadisha]

On a hunch, I tried reverting to older versions of Debian. Buster works, but both Bullseye and Bookworm versions result in the behaviour above.
I can't understand why the new versions don't work, so any ideas you have would be much appreciated :-)

[bostrot]

Maybe the needed drivers don't exist on the new versions? I am not so sure either.
